SICAMEX (Sistema de Información de Casos de Adolescentes en México)
Description
The Juvenile Court of the State of Durango faced major limitations in its digital infrastructure, which became especially clear during the pandemic. Managing cases manually made virtual hearings difficult, slowed judicial procedures, and limited access to reliable, real time information. In response, SICAMEX was developed in 2021 to modernize and digitize the juvenile justice process and ensure continuity, transparency, and rights based treatment for adolescents. The system brings all case information into one place, supports hearings and reminders, improves access to data, and helps apply a restorative justice approach in line with national standards.
The solution
Law & legal affairs
Centralized case management and automated procedural alerts improve compliance with legal timelines, helping judicial staff across multiple states consistently apply human-rights standards and the National System of Integral Juvenile Justice law.
Transparency
Digital tracking of cases from initial hearing to post-judgment enables real-time monitoring and analytics, reducing delays and improving continuity of care for adolescents, while supporting replication of best practices across states.
Juvenile Justice
User-centered digital tools streamline the management of juvenile cases from initial hearing to post-judgment, enabling court operators to conduct virtual hearings, maintain secure records, and ensure continuity of the restorative justice process across multiple states.
